Back in the day, it was hip to talk about “candlepower” when attempting to quantify a light’s output. Now most companies use a different unit of measure – the lumen. What do lumens really measure and how does that affect you? Sit back and learn a little something from Dave and his garden hose…
The new Gun Control t-shirt from Sage Dynamics will have the anti-gunners in your life saying “Hey, wait a minute…” I suspect that wearing this shirt and gauging reactions to it would be a great way to separate the peppercorns from the rabbit turds at your next friendly get-together.
I am just going to blurt this out since you’ll probably close this window and head for Katylist.com before I can finish this post… Plate carrier… Made in USA… $49.99!
If you are still with me, here is some more information. These carriers are part of an overrun from an agency order – once they are gone, they are gone. It is available in any color you want as long as it is black. The carrier features:
These might just be worth putting away for a rainy day! Check them out at Katylist.
I have really seen the light when it comes to hook backed, elastic loop side saddles/shot shell cards for shotguns. They just offer so many more ammo management capabilities with less weight and lower cost.
One of their biggest advantages is the ability to remove and replace them quickly as they become depleted. That sounds good but you still have to work out how you will carry the spares. You have options like sticking a spare or two the loop field on your plate carrier or chest rig(if it has one). You could also carry the cards in AR-15 magazine pouches which works reasonably well. However, if you want a dedicated solution, you might consider something like the new Detachable Shotshell Carrier Pouch MKIII (DSC) from S&J Hardware.
The DSC is a pouch that is purpose built to carry 3 (included) shotgun cards. One of the cards is carried on the front of the pouch where it is always ready. You can think of that one as a speed reload in a sense. The other two are secured inside the pouch. The pouch is closed via a zipper and it features a large pull tab on the top so that it can be ripped open easily with one hand. It is MOLLE compatible with a footprint that is basically the same as a standard M4 magazine pouch.
This looks like a very well thought out solution and a heck of a deal considering it comes with 3 shell cards. Check out the S&J Hardware Detachable Shotshell Carrier Pouch MKIII.
Strike Industries (SI) just unleashed an EMP. Don’t worry though, I’m not talking about the survivalist’s wet dream type of EMP. I’m talking about their new Extended Magazine Plate.
The SI EMP is a drop-in replacement for the standard baseplate on a Magpul Gen M2 PMAGs (a version for Gen M3 PMAGs is in the works). It adds 2 rounds of capacity, some additional gripping surface, and is designed to be a stable platform when using the magazine as a monopod.
The SI EMPs are available individually and in packs of 3.
